Interstate travel
We recently flew from Adelaide to Sydney then travelled by train to Newcastle. The train system would not accept our pension or seniors card but have to apply for a gold opal card which can only be done on line.
What about people that don’t have computers?
There we no exceptions for people who didn’t know and the website doesn’t actually reflect this. I feel this is a very unfair system for travellers. Why cannot the system be the same all around Australia as the pension card and seniors card are recognised in all states yet the transport systems have their own individual system?
Time for our ministers to to have a one Australia system.
This was very frustrating and I know it’s not much money but totally unfair.

Gold Opal cards need to be ordered online so your concession eligibility.
Whilst frustrating, I would think people who are going to travel interstate should plan for their travel.
Unfortunately we are overgoverned with different laws in each state and different councils.
This makes it difficult when reading from other members and not knowing which state they are from
.... surely it would not take much of an effort to attach the State under the avatar.
